That's it for a while, though. Not going to rush anything else!

You're a sensible lad DD

Have grown the Zebrune shallots for a couple of seasons, the better ones have come from the normal spring sowings. Although I'm sure the packet advises sowing from jan-May, I'm not sure there is any benefit in sowing them early.

Bit the bullet and planted mine today.

80  x Arthurs and 40 x Red Barons into propagators wrapped with fleece.

Fingers crossed.

Have you planted sets or sown seeds?

My Bedfordshire Champion and Alisa Craig (in a heated propagator) are showing - but very patchy. I used Levington F2+S and was wondering if the compost had become a bit too compact for the seeds to push through. Early days yet and patience is a virtue. Something that I lack though!!

Seeds. Guess I should have said 'sown'.

going to start my seeds of this week in a covered seed tray on my downstairs bathroom window sill have to keep an eye on them as it can get a bit warm in there

All my Autumn planted onion sets and shallots have spent a week on the floor the blowaway having blown away in the winds.  Re-planted but expect they will bolt but they have a great root system.

On windowsill I have sown 220 Globo, 100 Vision and 150 Santoro seeds.  Looks quite a lot but they are seeds coming to the end of their sow by date so I do not expect all of them to germinate.  Keeping the other two packets of seeds to sow at the end of Feb.

I have just been to check and my Befordshire Champion seedlings have just emerged after 7 days.

I've also checked my Kelsea onion seeds and one has just emerged mine were planted at Christmas time 12 days ago

Better get mine in !
I saved several thousand Red Baron seed in 2010 and have been using them every year since. I will plant out 20 or so good bulbs from last years crop and let go to seed to refresh my stash.
Going to sow some more Sturon aswell. I have a couple of dozen bunches of multisown Sturon(sown in September) planted out in the tunnel to see what will happen.

My Globo and Ailsa Craig have moved to the kitchen windowsill this morning, as there is no central heating in there. My project later will be to make tin foil reflectors for them
